Yeah eve's been banned a lot, although whenever I see her picked she seems to have a worse record than when TF/Vayne get picked.

 

[Jazriel]

Just had one of those games where you have 4 noobs running around like chickens with their head cut off, but then decide that you want to win so you direct them all perfectly and ****. Just setup the game to sweep through all 3 inhibs in one go and then we double aced them for Nexus. Having superiour map control through mindgames and directing 4 other people ftw.

What's your usual build for Teemo? I've been going with Rain Man's Doran'sX2 > Malady > Bloodrazor > Cleaver/Mallet/GA/Banshee's

Malady, while pretty efficient, isn't the best item to get on Teemo early. It's situational.

I run flat ad reds, health quints / flat health regen, flat armor, flat mr, and 0/21/9 (no points in dodge, 3 in ardor). This gives me the feel of having a Doran's Blade at all times. Then I start with (1a) Boots + 3 Health Pots. Once you hit Lv4 it becomes really easy to harass (you have your move quick and blind). Lv5 you should be harassing a lot, before they get their ult. If you're smart about your Blind you can squeeze in first blood easily.

You're goal is to buy (2) Wit's End as soon as possible. If you can buy it on your first back, perfect. Otherwise grab 2 Doran Blades or if against an AP carry, some Null-Magic Mantles. Upgrade to (1b) Merc Treads when you feel it's necessary. Once you have Wit's End you really don't need much else until mid-late game.

Next work on getting (3) Bloodrazer (or Malady if they have no tank). Buy the AS part of it first unless you need the armor boost from Madred's. After a finished bloodrazer I go for (4a) Phage (because that 250 health translates to 500 eHP with all my armor/mr). At this point you don't need to upgrade to Frozen mallet ever unless you need survivability against a non-AP carry. Instead work towards a (5) Banshee's Veil, grabbing Negatron first then catalyst. Finally, you can upgrade into (4b) Frozen Mallet and grab one last offensive item / some armor.

Another very important item to buy is Health Potions. I typically grab 3-4 every time I back. It let's me have an edge over an opponent because of that extra 800 health I have. You don't really need wards. Mid-Late game I like grabbing Oracles cause it's really hard to kill Teemo if you are purposefully avoiding teamfights. Grabbing oracles hints at the opponent that they should really try to kill you, which means you can play like a jerk and waste their time.


Also, you can set your post color (the color all of your posts appear in) in your UserCP > Options or something like that.

It really is funny how much Jarvan can get away with... and he is QQed about much less than other characters.

yea, it's pretty remarkable that anytime a Jarman QQ thread comes up it gets immediately downvoted to oblivion. *shrugs* it's kinda funny to be a Jarman player now after being a Pantheon player from when he was QQed about. Jarman now is pretty much twice as good as Pantheon ever was, yet receives a much smaller amount of QQ.

 

[UTDZac]

Jarv doesn't have a global ult. The descriptor "twice as much" isn't fair.

 

[DMG]

He also doesn't have an auto target stun. But he gets utility up the butt, tankiness, and non-ignorable damage. That ******.

 

[PhantomX]

I still have more fun playing Cho than him, for some reason... though I like both. The Gentleman skin might be partially to blame.

Interesting, I haven't tried Wit's on Teemo before, I'll give it a shot sometime.

And yea, I know I can auto-set my color but then it wouldn't show up when people quote me

 

[fkacyan]

@Mogwai: That's the point. It's pretty stupid and pretty bad but still works really well because he's ****ing Jarvan.

EDIT: I do have to say, though, making just one early seems to work really well in a solo to quickly farm up some better items.

 

[PhantomX]

But you can accomplish that for much cheaper with 2 Philos and spamming your Flag + Q.

 

[UTDZac]

Wit's End is easily the best item you can buy on Teemo.

 

[Mogwai]

also just getting brutalizer, which you know... is an actual good item and makes farming easier and kills champions harder for it's cost. You don't have any need for the splash, the bigger piece of what tiamat does to help farming is make your Q -> E 1 shot ranged creeps easier with the damage, but a BF Sword or brutalizer does the same thing without being a ****ty dead end item.

 

[DMG]

Tiamat on jarvan would be legit if it also splashed your passive damage. THAT would be ********, especially if it gave other units the damage but not the 6 second mark preventing you from doing it again. Hit left minion, then middle, then right for 3x passive damage rofl.

 

[fkacyan]

But you can accomplish that for much cheaper with 2 Philos and spamming your Flag + Q.

I save flag because I splitpush and I need it to escape.

Q + melee with a tiamat oneshots creep waves. Tiamat also gives some damage.

Idk, I've played almost every build Jarvan has and they all work, there hasn't really been any metric that has shown me which build is more effective because I've only lost with Jarman to people leaving.

 

[@TKbreezy]

would Philostones work on annie? (or the elesia miracle thing since i get sorc shoes?)

 

[Cactuar]

Hey Mogwai, could you link your Jarman guide? I was reading it weeks ago and can't find the link.

 

[DMG]

Warmog to Atmas is pretty legit on him since he gets the passive boost from Flag and has a shield. If you get a solo lane, incredibly easy to farm it up.

 

[Ignatius]

Found googling, "Mogwai jarvan"

i like a single philo pre-cata in catalyst + sorc shoes builds.

 

[Spife]

muta harrass in sc2, I know bout dem corsairs.


ALSO JUNGLE QUINTS WHAT GET?! I'm lookin at regi's guide and he has the same quints I do (didn't use to). I might just keep them then.

 

[Mogwai]

AD if you're running any AD in your spec. Otherwise it's irrelevant between AS and ArPen so long as you're running the right overall mix of the 2 stats (both have identical Mark vs. Quint scaling).

 

[Shaya]

I made a qq jarvan thread on the lol forums.

I was PLUS ONE.

 

[Hylian]

Couple of things.

One, holy hell I thought I would like solo queue smurfing because it would be easy but it's harder than my normal solo queue!!

Also, wtf is wrong with swf chat lmao:

 

[UTDZac]

Dang Hylian you watch GOMTv too? Billy watches it a lot. I'm a big Huk fan xD.

Since we're all posting screenshots of our browser bookmarks, here's mine:

Yeah I watch the gsl's and stuff, pretty much quit SC2 for LoL though lol. I was about 1500 diamond when I quit.

 

[PhantomX]

You're supposed to smurf with other people, otherwise it can be a huge headache, lol.

Also, it helps when you can CS!

 

[Plum]

I really wanted to improve my ability to last hit so I picked up Nasus.
I figured there would be no better way to last hit better than to play a character entirely dependent on your ability to do so.
I had just under 300 CS by 35 minutes doing nothing but farming my Q. Told my team to push but avoid fights while I farmed. Started team fighting when I had my Triforce, Brutalizer, and starting my tanky items. I was doing more than true damage with my Q on their squishes and just two shotting them.

 

[UTDZac]

Teemo made me good at last hitting.

 

[Hylian]

Hacker group LulzSec attacked the login servers. You can check the twitter link http://twitter.com/#!/LulzSec

Just copied and pasted this from gamefaqs, don't actually know if true lol.

 

[UTDZac]

It's true. They do this every Tuesday or something (not to Riot, but whatever companies people call in).

EDIT: More info: http://lo-ping.org/2011/06/14/lulzsec-takes-titanictakeovertuesday-to-the-next-level/

 

[Juno McGrath]

Did it for the hood.

 

[-Vocal-]

What do you do when your first pick isn't even smart enough to ban Eve. Needless to say he fed that entire game -_-

 

[Mogwai]

you pick soraka, open dring and roam around healing the lanes that eve ganks.

 

[Jazriel]

Eve is seeing play again? What's changed to make her not garbage?

 

[Abel1994]

why is the server down for me?

I log on main sitre and it says "it broke come back later"

 

[Mogwai]

Eve is seeing play again? What's changed to make her not garbage?

people remembered that it had nothing to do with anything other than stealth + stun being gay as balls

some ******* DDOS'd Riot.

 

[DMG]

People remembered that Eve limits early game to passive farming for the other team. Which, if combined with a strong solo/mid, would usually lead to that lane getting the advantage over their opponent. Vlad vs Carry/solo lane top now shifts to Vlad's favor early on if the other person can't risk playing aggressively with Eve around. Even if you pinkward, it doesn't prevent Eve from arriving and turning the lane into 2 v 1 unless you also want to send your jungler over to deal with it.

What do you mean im still pretty new xD

So I bought a new guy who carrys a sword with 1 hand named try somthing and I liked how he doesnt need MP to fight but his HP sucks. I might stick to nasus as my main. SO much fun tanking damage and having a lot of hp.
